Missing time-lapse pictures

Hi everybody

I'm using CHDK with the unlimited intervolometer script on an A470 for a project that is rapidly approaching,  Last week I set the system up for a test run. 

At the end of the test run I should have had some where around 2600 pictures, but there were only 300 or so.  The card (a 16g sdhc card) showed only around 6 gigs of space left though.  The pictures were in the 100cannon folder and there was a 101cannon and 102cannon folder that had been created, but were empty.

Odd thing is that the card was showing the right amount of space missing, but the pictures weren't there.  I sped up the timing for testing's sake and tried again after formating the card.  Same issue.  Recovery software netted me a few more pictures, but not all 2600 (about 900 after recovery)


Any ideas what could be causing this?  The project I'm using this for starts next Wednesday, so any help would be hugely appreciated.

I would try reformatting the card in the camera and re-installing CHDK....

another try:
in the "load script" menu (the one you see pictured here: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5646/ftvintrv.jpg  ) set the "Script shoot delay" value to something like 10....
